وَ مَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرٰی عَلَی اللّٰهِ كَذِبًا اَوْ كَذَّبَ بِاٰیٰتِهٖ ؕ اِنَّهٗ لَا یُفْلِحُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ۝۲۱

And who is more wicked than he who invents lies about God or denies His revelations? Surely the wicked will not succeed.

وَ یَوْمَ نَحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِیْعًا ثُمَّ نَقُوْلُ لِلَّذِیْنَ اَشْرَكُوْۤا اَیْنَ شُرَكَآؤُكُمُ الَّذِیْنَ كُنْتُمْ تَزْعُمُوْنَ۝۲۲

The day We shall gather all of them together and say to those who ascribe (partners to God): "Where are the compeers who you claimed (were equal to God)?"

ثُمَّ لَمْ تَكُنْ فِتْنَتُهُمْ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ قَالُوْا وَ اللّٰهِ رَبِّنَا مَا كُنَّا مُشْرِكِیْنَ۝۲۳

Then their excuse will be but to say: "By God our Lord, we were not idolaters."

اُنْظُرْ كَیْفَ كَذَبُوْا عَلٰۤی اَنْفُسِهِمْ وَ ضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا یَفْتَرُوْنَ۝۲۴

You will see how they will lie against themselves, and all their slanderings will be vain.

وَ مِنْهُمْ مَّنْ یَّسْتَمِعُ اِلَیْكَ ۚ وَ جَعَلْنَا عَلٰی قُلُوْبِهِمْ اَكِنَّةً اَنْ یَّفْقَهُوْهُ وَ فِیْۤ اٰذَانِهِمْ وَقْرًا ؕ وَ اِنْ یَّرَوْا كُلَّ اٰیَةٍ لَّا یُؤْمِنُوْا بِهَا ؕ حَتّٰۤی اِذَا جَآءُوْكَ یُجَادِلُوْنَكَ یَقُوْلُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْۤا اِنْ هٰذَاۤ اِلَّاۤ اَسَاطِیْرُ الْاَوَّلِیْنَ۝۲۵

There are some among them who listen to you; but We have put a covering on their hearts so that they fail to understand it, and a deafness appears in their ears. Even if they saw all the signs they would not believe in them; and even when they come to you to dispute with you, the unbelievers say: "This is nothing but fables of antiquity."

وَ هُمْ یَنْهَوْنَ عَنْهُ وَ یَنْـَٔوْنَ عَنْهُ ۚ وَ اِنْ یُّهْلِكُوْنَ اِلَّاۤ اَنْفُسَهُمْ وَ مَا یَشْعُرُوْنَ۝۲۶

And they forbid others from (believing in) it, and themselves keep away from it. But they ruin none but themselves, and do not understand.

وَ لَوْ تَرٰۤی اِذْ وُقِفُوْا عَلَی النَّارِ فَقَالُوْا یٰلَیْتَنَا نُرَدُّ وَ لَا نُكَذِّبَ بِاٰیٰتِ رَبِّنَا وَ نَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ۝۲۷

If you should see them when they are stood before the Fire, they will say: "Ah would that we were sent back (to the world)! We shall not deny the signs of our Lord, and be among those who believe."

بَلْ بَدَا لَهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا یُخْفُوْنَ مِنْ قَبْلُ ؕ وَ لَوْ رُدُّوْا لَعَادُوْا لِمَا نُهُوْا عَنْهُ وَ اِنَّهُمْ لَكٰذِبُوْنَ۝۲۸

But no. What they were hiding has now become clear to them. If they were sent back they would surely return to what had been forbidden them, for surely they are liars.

وَ قَالُوْۤا اِنْ هِیَ اِلَّا حَیَاتُنَا الدُّنْیَا وَ مَا نَحْنُ بِمَبْعُوْثِیْنَ۝۲۹

They say: "There is no other life but that of this world, and we will not be raised (from the dead)."

وَ لَوْ تَرٰۤی اِذْ وُقِفُوْا عَلٰی رَبِّهِمْ ؕ قَالَ اَلَیْسَ هٰذَا بِالْحَقِّ ؕ قَالُوْا بَلٰی وَ رَبِّنَا ؕ قَالَ فَذُوْقُوا الْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَكْفُرُوْنَ۠۝۳۰

If you see them when they are put before their Lord, He will say to them: "Is not this the truth?" They will answer: "Indeed, by our Lord." He will say: "Then taste the agony of punishment for what you had denied."
